Abstract

The application of the third Universal 2012 definition of MI instead of the Universal 2007 definition resulted in a 1% reduction of the total number of MIs. For a practical clinical purpose, the reduction was confined to patients with Type 4a MI. The change of definition had no impact on all-cause mortality.
